1.8.4. Enabling Designers on a Team to Optimize Independently

Scenario background: A project consists of several lower-level design blocks that are developed separately by different designers who do not have access to a shared top‑level project framework. This scenario is similar to creating precompiled design blocks for resuse, but assumes that there are several design blocks being developed independently (instead of just one IP block), and the project lead can provide some information about the design to the individual designers. If the designers have shared access to the top-level design, use the instructions for designing in a team-based environment.

This scenario assumes that there are several design blocks being developed independently (instead of just one IP block), and the project lead can provide some information about the design to the individual designers.

This scenario describes how to use incremental compilation in a team-based design environment where designers or IP developers want to fully optimize the placement and routing of their design independently in a separate Intel® Quartus® Prime project before sending the design to the project lead. This design flow requires more planning and careful resource allocation because design blocks are developed independently.
